Tag Archives: Overlanding – Totoyaya, our 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ75 with a custom camper box is for sale (again!).

Read on to find out the process we’ve gone through in order NOT to find a camper van in Canada!  I’ve started a new series on the blog called the Monthly Wrap-up. In it, you’ll learn the number of kilometers we’ve driven, what we’ve been up to this month, a description and map of our exact route, noteworthy camping spots, a few highlights, what we expect the next month to hold for us |
